7. Cold Whiskey Punch
(For a party)
This beverage ought always to be made with boiling
water, and allowed to concoct and cool for a day or two
before it is put on the table. In this way the materials
get more intensely amalgamated than
cold
water and
cold
whiskey ever get. As to the beautiful mutual adaptation
of cold rum and cold water, that is beyond all praise,
being one of Nature's most exquisite achievements. (See
"Glasgow Punclz,"
No. 29.)
8. Scotch Whiskey Punch
Steep the thin yellow shavings of lemon peel in the
whiskey, which should be Glenlivet or Islay, of the best
quality; the sugar should be dissolved in boiling water.

impertient to give proportions. (See
"Spread Eagle
Punclz,"
No. 39.)
